The villainous prince who bullied Feng Aotian was actually myself.

Even stealing from one's own maid, Anne Lucy, is somewhat acceptable, but...

Well, no matter what, this matter still needs to be done.

After a struggle with his conscience, Leon finally forced himself to make up his mind.

"Leon?"

A sweet voice rang out from behind the entrance.

Faintly, Leon heard the other person calling his name.

Leon turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound, and suddenly froze.

“Miss Hayden…what a coincidence.”

After a moment of surprise, Leon quickly realized what was happening.

"The back view looked a bit like you, I never expected it to actually be you."

Hazel was also slightly surprised.

Unlike when we met yesterday, she wasn't wearing a gorgeous aristocratic gown this time. Instead, she simply wore a light blue long-sleeved blouse, paired with light blue wide-leg trousers and white women's ankle boots.

Her long, silvery-white hair was tied into a simple ponytail that wasn't too high or too low, with her bangs swept to the sides, revealing her fair and delicate forehead.

"Well, Guberlan City isn't exactly small, but it's not that big either, so it's not too strange for two people living in Guberlan City to meet."

Leon gave an awkward laugh.

"Oh, that's right."

Hazel nodded slightly, smiled mischievously, and then sat down in the chair opposite Leon without any awkwardness.

"Miss, would you like to order any drinks?"

As soon as Hazel sat down, the waitresses responsible for greeting customers in this area immediately came forward and started soliciting business.

Although this place is called a teahouse, it also sells fruit, yogurt, and other drinks, with the latter selling far more than the former.

This isn't really that strange. For example, restaurants don't necessarily only sell food, right? And foot massage parlors don't just offer foot massages!

"Waitress, her drink is on my bill."

Just as Hazel took the drink menu from the waitress and was about to order, Leon suddenly gave a gentlemanly smile.

According to aristocratic etiquette, it would be impolite for Leon to speak to Hazel.

"Okay, sir."

The waitress was already used to this situation, and she still wore a professional smile.

Ok?

Leon's sudden action startled Hazel slightly.

Is Leon still the same passionate Leon?

When we were together before, he always liked to insist on paying the bill, but I always firmly refused.

But this time, Leon's attitude towards paying the bill was different from before. He was very easygoing and didn't have the same enthusiasm as before.

Although she didn't want to owe Leon anything, this time... Hazel suddenly had a feeling of wanting to accept his kindness.

“Leon, you know I don’t like this.”

After thinking about it, Hazel refused.

"It doesn't matter. Just think of it as meeting an old classmate. Miss Hayden is so beautiful, it's my honor to pay for you."

Leon knew, of course, that Hazel always refused anything he offered, but considering the original owner's sycophantic persona, he decided to continue being polite. After all, Hazel would still refuse him eventually, so he could just agree when she refused a second time.

After all, although Leon had a lot of money, not a single penny was superfluous, and Hazel was not short of money either.

"Well... then I'll give you a chance."

Looking into Leon's beautiful, deep blue eyes, Hazel hesitated for a moment before making an exception and agreeing.

agreed!

Do not!

Shouldn't you have rejected me?

Leon almost let his lips twitch, but thankfully he managed to restrain himself.

No, you always refused when the original owner wanted to treat you before, so why is it different when it comes to me?

Is it because the original plot was disrupted that the female characters' personalities began to change?

Is this yet another new conspiracy automatically generated by the world's corrective forces in an attempt to fix this bug in themselves?

Leon's thoughts gradually deepened, rising to the point of contemplating the rules of the Heavenly Dao.

"I don't know what to drink either, Leon, why don't you order me a drink?"

After a moment of hesitation, Hazel handed the drink menu to Leon.

"Shall I order?"

Leon was puzzled. What was this guy up to?

"Ah."

Hazel nodded gently.

If Leon still cared about her, he would definitely order her favorite coconut milkshake. Hazel thought to herself.

Back when he was at the University of Guberland, Leon would often ask people to bring him this drink after he learned that it was his favorite.

"Then I'll just order whatever I want?"

Leon asked tentatively.

"okay."

Hero smiled faintly.

Ok……

What would you like to order?

Leon looked at the rows of Fitchman text on the drink menu, his gaze finally settling on the juice category.

"Are you sure?"

Leon confirmed with Hazel again.

"okay."

He'll definitely order my favorite coconut milkshake, right? He'll definitely order my favorite coconut milkshake, right? He'll definitely order my favorite coconut milkshake, right?

Hazel was filled with anticipation at that moment.

"Then, miss, could I please have a lychee iced tea?"

Leon looked at the waitress and smiled.

Lychee iced tea?!

Unlike Leon, Hazel couldn't eat lychees at this moment.

Leon, you bastard!

Did you do this on purpose?!

Have they really forgotten about me?

I hate lychees the most!

Chapter Forty-Eight: Blurred

"Wait a minute, waitress."

Hazel suddenly called out to the waiter who was about to leave.

"Miss, is there anything else you need?"

The waitress smiled.

"Change the lychee iced tea to a coconut milkshake."

Hazel replied, then glared at Leon with her beautiful emerald green eyes as if in a huff, "I'm sorry, Mr. Hoyle, I don't like lychees."

"Uh... lychees are great, they're sweet and... well, I'm sorry."

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting increasingly awkward, Leon finally chose to shut up and force a laugh.

Because the original owner's memories have merged with his own, Leon's own memories currently dominate his mind. As a result, some of the original owner's memories are somewhat chaotic, which means that Leon is completely unaware of many details that the original owner would have been concerned about.

After noticing Hazel's displeasure, Leon thought back carefully and realized that among the fruits Hazel disliked were indeed lychees, as well as bananas and others.

Uh... I just feel like there's something weird about the fruits she doesn't like. No, it's more like she likes them, that's weird! Oh well, anyway, they're weird!

However, in the original anime, she is indeed a yuri (lesbian) character.

"Miss, it's been revised."

The waitress spoke in an extremely gentle tone.

When she first heard the name Miss Hayden, she felt something was off; the surname seemed strangely familiar.

But when she heard Mr. Hoyle's name, her heart skipped a beat.

Hoyle!

That's the surname of the Fitcher royal family!

Although waitresses don't read newspapers much, pay little attention to national affairs, or care much about who the top leaders are, they still know something about the Hoyle family. For example, the teahouse where she works is backed by the Hoyle family, and the real estate developer of her residential area is also from the Hoyle family...

"OK, thanks."

Heyr smiled slightly at the waitress.

"It is my honor to serve you both."

The waitress gave a formal bow and then hurriedly left.

While it might be entertaining, people from such large families are rumored to be bad people, so it's best to stay away.

“Miss Hayden…it’s better if you call me Leon. The surname Hoyle is too…”

Leon naturally noticed the waitress's rapid change in attitude after hearing Mr. Hoyle's name.

"This……"

It's all your fault!

Hazel felt inexplicably wronged, but she felt it was inappropriate to speak to Leon like this, so she ultimately only uttered one word.

After all, why should I expect him to remember what I like and dislike?

Ultimately, she and Leon had no connection whatsoever.

"I'm sorry, I... I'm sick, okay?"

After a moment's pause, Hazel reorganized her thoughts.

“No, Miss Hayden, I didn’t mean to blame you.”

Leon smiled gently. "I was just reminding you. Also—"

At this point, Leon paused slightly, then said softly, "A lot has happened in the past two years, which has caused me to overlook many things. You like coconut juice but don't like lychees. I remember that now and I won't make that mistake again."

"Is that so?"

Heyr spoke softly.

What exactly did he experience in the palace over the past two years?

For someone to undergo such a dramatic change, the things they must have gone through must have been extraordinary.

Thinking this, Hazel suddenly became curious about Leon.

It was only then that she realized that her understanding of Leon seemed to have always been limited to other people's evaluations of him.

I never really took the time to get to know him.
